Here's another hand where I flopped a set of 9s. I think it's all good, but I was wondering if a PF raise would be in order? Hand history follows...

Hand 1: I shove.

Hand 2: Ugh, i fold but i dont think calling is terrible. I'd just prefer too find a better spot too get my money in.

Hand 3: I always raise this pre-flop

1. shove - If you thought he had AA or KK you should of folded Preflop
2. Fold - This really feels like he is doing it for FE though, I don't hate a call.
3. I raise this sometimes from the SB but probably 75% of the time I just call because you are going to be OOP the whole hand anyway. I like the way you played it.

Thanks for the feedback all. I played hands 1 &amp; 2 just like you guys suggested. I was gutted to see CO in hand one call my push and show AA. I had no read that suggested he would have AA/KK, although my gut told me he probably did just after I clicked the push button. I'm playing without a tracker/HUD so i'm at a disadvantage as far as reads go I suppose. My aim is to play without a HUD for as long as possible to build up observation skills (though it's bloody hard work hehe)

Hand 2 I folded with a sigh, as recommended.

Hand 3. A few of you guys advocate raising PF here. However is it not the case that at least one of the 4/5 limpers, whatever it was, would probably have 2 overs so i'd be in a 50/50 situation if I got it heads up. Is the purpose of your raise here to get it heads up with another player? I thought about this but decided the hand had more value as a potential set that could be check/raised against one of the inevitable bettors to act behind, which is pretty much how the hand played out as you can see in the history. What would be the arguements for rasing this PF, and what would be your line after the flop?
